I am 5 months pregnant and suffering from my depression and anxiety extremely bad. I was depressed and suffered from anxiety and attempted suicide before I was pregnant but now it seems to be getting even worse.
I do have a very wonderful psychologist who has helped me tremedously but now I am so afraid to tell him how much I am suffering and on some days how much I just want to die. I am afraid he will commit me again to the hospital, of which will prove that I have failed for getting my life back together. I feel very lost and confused, and alone. I am married but my husband just freaks out. He doesn't understand anything I am going through. Any one out there have any advice. Today is a day where I would like my world to come to an end. |

I suffer from depression and anxiety also. I have 4 children and it is not easy. I am here if you ever want to PM me. I want to tell you that just because you go back to the hospital to get help with these thoughts does not mean that you have failed in any way!!! The way you may need to deal with this is by getting lots of support. You can't do this alone.... NOONE can. It doesn't sound like your husband is being very supportive and you do need him to be. Only look at today. Think of this baby. The baby is a gift to you and you are deemed special enough to be given it. I love my children very much.... have I thought of killing myself..... yes. It doesn't mean that I have failed. I only fail if I ever make that grave mistake of carrying it out..... because my children need me and so does the world. Just as your baby needs you and so do we need you here. I'm sorry for what you are going through.... you will be in my thoughts.... pm me anytime. Juli |

Thank you for the support. I see my psychologist tonight and am hoping to at least get some of these thought on the table. I really do appreciate the support. What does PM mean?

Hi from someone who has a mood disorder and an anxiety disorder and just sucessfully made it through my pregnancy.
I will admit there were times I was VERY anxious, but with the help of my PDOC, we made it through just fine. I'm so sorry that you are having a hard time. Keep trying to concentrate on the miracle you have growing inside you - especially when the baby kicked it would remind me of all that I was working towards - and when you see that baby, it just changes everything. I've been amazingly stable since my baby, it helped so much. It gives me something to really work for - because my son means more to me than anything in the world. Keep working with your T on ways to calm down and relax. I hope you feel better really soon, and private message me anytime you want support |

hi dolphin,
i am so sorry you are going through this right now. i know that the battle against depression and anxiety is a very difficult one. i agree with the previous post that going to the hospital does NOT mean that you have failed. and in order to get the help and support you need you need to be honest with you therapist. i know that it is very difficult to focus on the little miracle that you have growing inside of you right now because of how you are feeling at the moment. i hope that you can get the support that you need to get through this rough patch. remember that we can always get past the hurdles. i am also available by pm if you need me. best of luck to you. agony |
